Abstract: A gate driver to control a high-power switching device is disclosed. The gate driver includes a multifunction pin that allows the gate driver to be controlled by a multifunction signal to perform a number of different functions. For example, a level of the multifunction signal at the multifunction pin can enable/disable the output of the gate driver. In another example, a level of the multifunction signal that is held for a period while the gate driver is in a fault state can reset the state of the gate driver. In another example, pulsing the multifunction signal a number of times can activate a test of the fault detection capabilities of the gate driver. Utilizing one pin for this control, simplifies circuit complexity for communication between a controller and the gate driver, thereby reducing cost and increasing reliability.

Abstract: The present subject matter provides various technical solutions to technical problems facing sensor-based vehicle safety technology. To address problems facing identification of safety features (e.g., safety sensors) for a particular vehicle, a vehicle safety feature identification system may be used to identify a vehicle and the safety features that are installed on that vehicle. To address problems facing identification of which safety sensors require maintenance, a vehicle safety feature maintenance system may be used to identify vehicle safety sensors based on information received about one or more vehicle repairs, such as structural repairs following a vehicle collision. The vehicle safety feature maintenance system may use image data or other inputs to identify a vehicle repair area, identify other vehicle components that must be removed or adjusted to complete the vehicle repair, and identify all vehicle safety sensors and other safety features that will need to be repaired, replaced, or recalibrated.

Abstract: In an example system, a meter device records streaming session information. Cluster creation circuitry trains a model by grouping information from multiple streaming sessions into clusters. All streaming sessions within a given cluster have matching media and streaming sources. Model executor circuitry assigns incoming streaming session information to a cluster or to noise. Cluster creation circuitry edits the model by creating new clusters out of information from multiple streaming sessions with similar attributes that were originally labeled as noise.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for using multi-modal regression to predict customer intent to contact a merchant. Multi-modal data including numerical data and unstructured data are extracted from customer interactions with the merchant. Features of the numerical data and the unstructured data are separately extracted and classified using techniques specific to the data types. The features for each type are then separately used to predict probabilities of customer intent. A neural network is used to combine the predictions into a single set of estimates of customer intent. This set of estimates of customer intents is used to estimate a probability that the customer will contact the merchant. The customer is then contacted based on the estimate.
